“Our guy stayed over the holidays and everything went perfectly, he had a great time and loved hanging out with the family, we were super happy about it. Thank you so much!”


“Nabina and Joonseok are the best sitters ever!! Eon got sick the night before our travel, and when I told Nabina and Joonseok about it, they totally put our minds at ease and made all the accommodations possible including taking our Eon to the vet, giving him meds and showering him with love and care the whole time we were away. We also got tons of great pics and videos of Eon through the entire stay, and Eon looked so comfortable and at home that my husband and I actually got a bit jealous 😂 I’m always nervous when I leave Eon with anyone but after this visit, I’ll be fine to travel without him if he can stay with N&J. Kona and Cream (their amazing pets) are also super friendly and Eon got along really well with them. I’ll be leaving Eon with Nabina and Joonseok again next week!”


“Ying is no doubt the best cat sitter! My cat is pretty shy and never lives with other cats before, so I was worried whether she can adapt the new environment. Ying is very patient and nice to my cat, and my cat got used to the new home in just 3 days. Ying took care of my cat very well! I definitely recommend Ying to everyone who needs cat sitting!”


“Wonderful experience— Matt watched our 9 week old puppy for 4 nights and not only did he do amazing but our puppy came back better trained! Will definitely be using him again, thank you so much!”


“This was our first time using Rover, so we were pretty nervous to leave our little 9 month old precious puppy with someone we didn't know. After looking at quite a few sitters, Michelle and Brian just felt right! As soon as we met them, we knew we had the right people! Our puppy, Oakley, was immediately comfortable and feeling right at home. There were absolutely no hesitations, this was the place! They were so nice to send pictures along the way that showed how much fun Oakley was having with their puppy and how relaxed he was. It was very comforting to know he was in such good hands. We are thrilled to know the next time we go out of town, Oakley will have his own vacation. I know he can hardly wait to play with his new best friend! Do not hesitate. Michelle and Brian are perfect puppy sitters!”



“Elle is wonderful! She took care of my pup for week while I was out of the country, and it was so reassuring to know that my baby was in a good home with an attentive sitter! Elle's communication is excellent, she clearly genuinely loves and understands dogs, and even handled the process of transporting my dog to another location at the end of the week. My dog is a rescue and can be anxious, but she obviously warmed up to Elle and her dog Chai quickly. I couldn't be happier and will continue to use Elle's services in future!”


“We can’t leave enough praises for Naomi. She took such loving care of our Sadie that she really didn’t want to come home! Naomi sent pics, texted updates daily, walker her and even let Sadie sleep with her as we do. I would highly recommend Naomi for your next pet sitter needs.”



“Junie was so happy to board with Carolyne for a week! She got lots of cuddles and attention and I will happily book again for hen I need to travel in the future!”


“My pups were loved and safe. Dottie has a kind heart and was very accommodating. I love that she screens dogs at a meet and greet for temperament and ability to fit into her home. We will be back!”


“Our dog came home happy and we’re so glad she got some fun and exercise while we were away! Don was flexible and very helpful when our flight was delayed and we had to change our pick up plan as well which we so appreciate!”


“Samm is excellent at her job. Her communication is always prompt. She sends lots of updates and photos, which I find reassuring. I highly recommend her services!”



“Xiaomeng was an excellent babysitter for Cosmo! She was friendly, attentive, and ensured he was well cared for throughout his time with her. Cosmo had a great experience playing in her lovely backyard, which provided a safe and enjoyable environment. I appreciate her professionalism and the warm approach she had with him. I would highly recommend Xiaomeng for anyone looking for reliable and caring babysitting services!”


“Cary and Dawn were fantastic with our Australian cattle dog mix, Maggie! We felt completely at ease leaving her in Cary's care while we were away. Great communication and Maggie was happy and well-cared for. Highly recommend Cary for your pet sitting needs! 😁”


About: I’ve cared for my Australian Shepherd for over 9 years, helping him thrive into seniorhood with daily enrichment, joint care, and gentle exercise. I’m comfortable administering medication, supporting older dogs, and reading animal body language. I treat every pet like family—attentive, calm, and tuned in to their unique needs I am currently open to most hours, I am in between jobs, and attempting to supplement my search with income in alternative manners so I am available during most weekdays and weekends, and on a case-by-case basis, I can work with you and your needs. I have a shared fenced yard and live in the basement unit of a single family home. I have a 11 year old Australian Shepherd, who is polite, loves being involved with others. He is slow to react to hostility, meaning he can take a lot of nonsense, but he knows how to tell the kids to slow down. He also is anti-conflict and loves to make sure everyone is safe. How we he’s getting older and will ‘behavior check’ excessive oversteps with typical behavior

“Great working with Amanda! She did a lovely job with Sparky, making sure she was comfortable, she communicated well and sent photos. Happy to have her take care of Sparky and doing it again in the future! Thanks!”


“Katie is awesome. Cowboy didn't want to come home! While I was traveling on business she sent pictures/stories daily. Katie made sure that Cowboy got lots of exercise.”


“I always feel comfortable leaving my dog with Lisa because I know he will be well cared for. I love that she takes him on adventures. I can tell when I drop him off and pick him up that he adores Lisa and actually seems like he tries to be a good dog for her! It's so terribly cute. I also appreciate the daily recaps and photos. I really can't thank you enough ❤️”

Samuel L.
“I can't recommend Sam enough as a pet sitter—especially if you have a large breed like a Great Pyrenees! My dog isn’t just big, he's also strong-willed, protective, and very particular about his routines, but Sam handled everything like a true pro. From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear Sam understood dogs and had the calm, confident energy that large breeds respond to. He kept me updated with daily photos and notes, and I could tell my pup was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy. Whether it was long walks, brushing that thick double coat, or just keeping him company, Sam went above and beyond. I came home to a relaxed, happy dog—and a clean house! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and who truly connects with animals, Sam is your guy. Five stars all the way!”
